@Thels Why aren't you uploading your own pictures? I wanna see what you have in stock also nice recropping although I like to do my own, true it not easy to keep the aspect ratio of some pictures, no one is perfect after all. I do like the Large image to show more of the person and the M one to show the face closer. I have more picture to upload just not the time
@kaguana: Mostly because I don't have any. I had a small archive, but I must've misplaced it when I moved stuff over to the new PC. It wasn't a lot to start with. I tend to go with the Cavalier redhead.
But here's a couple of Archers I just found, as I found this thread lacking a bit on the bows:
@Thels, not sure how much higher resolution this is, but some quick experimenting shows you should be able to get a *little* more zoomed in than you were able to before. Also, this one does not have writing on (most of) it.
I love the enthusiasm, folks. Just make sure you're properly crediting and sourcing the images you're posting; artists are people too, and they deserve credit for the work they've created.
Gonna try something new for a Black Pits or IWD run. Normally I use images that I think fit in the BG team, but for BP or IWD, as long as the six chars fit together, it may work, even if they don't fit within the BG team, so let's try an all League of Angels team:
Here is a dropbox link with more or less 500 portraits. Most of them are from different websites that I found a while ago, some of them I modified to my taste. I do not own any of them. Feel free to download them. I will keep the link open for 2 weeks. Here are some of my favorites: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bi71nhkzsgk7md5/AADbI2e7oZOnJ0SaYxiFalTQa?dl=0
PS: Some of them are not in the right resolution yet, sorry.^^
@cbarchuk Here is that portrait. Several people have commented how much they like this one. I always imagine the quarrel/arrow is poisoned and the MainChar is about to get him some Davaeorn 'Demonhunter' by Stanislav Novarenko
Wow, I love a high percentage of these and the previous of your posts. Great! I have to ask, some of these extend beyond the 210x330 L size.. I know that BGEE can shrink or expand the 210x330 (to fit Small/Medium/Large areas), can it do the same with these as well?
@EduardvdWB Here are the young Kriegr "Hammer of Justice" custom portrait pictures. I like them for Baldur's Gate 1, as your Bhaalspawn is so young. I think his obvious youth and dark contrasts with accents of green and red help give a creepy edge to him. He might not be a Blackguard but I think this cavalier looks like he might be the son of murder

It should be able to do that with all .BMP files. Just keep two things in mind:
1) If the original image is not in a 210x330 (or 7x11) ratio, it loses it's aspect ratio. Say if you have a picture that is 420x990, then the width of the character is halved, while the height of the character is reduced to one third, making the character look overly fat. The opposite will make a character look overly skinny.
2) If you use really big images, it may cause the game to slow down.
@rapsam2003 Those are really nice once. one question why do you use S size ? there is no need for it anymore, they change it so there is only need for the L and M sizes

My favourites in my list there are by Isandir, sXeven, Peter Balogh, Iovem Clayton and Eskarine. I've actually used 4 of those so far for characters. The one I remember the most though(other than playing myself) was Victasaadi Falconsflight, which was the one by sXeven.
Another note is I'm finding the artist using the google image search: https://images.google.ca/ All you have to do with that is drag and drop an image or copy-paste the link and it will find the picture's origins, though I can't seem to get rid of pinterest results which is annoying.

Here's a mage portrait. I use it for Neera typically.
Here's a portrait I use for Safana.
Loving the pictures on here. Though it seems the dudes all stayed home to cook during these adventures - nowhere to be seen
I'm not posting any male portraits myself as I'm only playing my own gender
As for the bard lovers here are some for you:
